Okay, so I just ate 3 of these cookies, they are my favorite! I got this recipe a long time ago and I found it in my E-mail. I have never tried to make them. I thought that I would throw it out there and see if anyone else wants to try to make them. You will have to let me know if they taste as good as the real thing!

Lofthouse Cookies:

2 eggs

2 C. sugar

2 C. cream

2/3 tsp.

Salt 2 tsp.

baking soda 2 tsp.

baking powder

2 C. shortening (Lard)

Vanilla to taste Enough flour to form a soft ball (She told me that the key to making soft, fluffy cookies is to add a lot of flour. But she didn't tell me how much. ) I assume that you just mix all of the ingredients together because there are no special directions listed. Bake at 350º (again no specified time) and the cookies need to stay white.

Serve it with pizza sauce, ranch or any other sauce you love! My kids thought this was fun and yummy. They loved watching me flip it over and they loved being able to "pull" their own piece off. You can also change it up to whatever pizza toppings your family loves.

Whisk all ingredients together and cook in a hot skillet.You may need to add extra flour, depending on how fluffy you like your pancakes.Cut into heart shape and serve with melted raspberry preserves, and whipped cream.

Sauté ground beef, onion, and green bell pepper in a large skillet until onion is tender and beef is lightly browned. Drain off excess fat; add tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well; stir in ziti or elbow macaroni and 1 cup of the cheese; transfer to a 2 1/2-quart casserole. Top with the remaining cup of cheese. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Serves 6.

Cream together 8 oz. cream cheese and 1 8 oz cool whip. Addpowdered sugar, chocolate pudding, and milk and mix well.Pour on top off graham cracker crust. Spread the other 8 ozCool Whip on top of chocolate pudding mixture and shredchocolate bar on top of Cool Whip.
